I'm 34, I've been "sick" for the better part of 5 years. Been told I had cancer 6 times (each time it turned out I didn't have it, they just like to tell you that you do to see how you react apparently).

I changed my lifestyle, my habits, my eating.. Still continued to get sick. Eventually you figure out that we're all going to die eventually. Some just have it happen sooner then others.

I will be 40 in March and don't worry about it as we all have to die sometime.

Welcome to my world!

I just turned 40, I only weigh 20lbs more than I did at 18(98lbs) and I never exercise, BUT I need to! I worry about health crap all the time given the couch potatoe nature of our profession. I did buy a bike last summer but that is as far as I got.

and simpsons boxers from Walmart? Really? You just ruined it for me!

i got s bit worried, stopped smoking, started a healthy diet and started to work out....

Curious why everyone in this thread almost all associated health with physical fitness. Seems everyone glossed over the real killers out there and just stuck with the most obvious form of health which is the all to easy to see weight which is a visual aspect of health.

Aside from weight which is a good thing to keep in control. People should be on the watch for what is in their diet - like antioxidants. Of course people should be checked for prostate, cancer, and the like. Hell many need to really start monitoring such things as they are entering the age brackets where they may pop up. Also start in on brain health, watching for bone issues, making sure your heart is doing well, checking to see if no rare or odd disease has started, and of course make damn sure there is no diabetes or such.

i disgust myself when I let myself go

do another walk today sleazy. and maybe a salad if you need to snack. lots of tasty low fat dressings out there.

wondering about the thread title "over 35".... realistically anyone over 18 should be thinking about mortality here and there, we're all going to die sometime and what is a few years difference anyways, it will all go by fast whether is is 10 years or 60 years :2 cents:

Never.
